Wendy learns she has co-inherited the beautiful Oakwood Inn with her missing Uncle William. For her to remain, her Aunt Margaret placed some stipulations. She must marry and produce a Carrington heir within five years. Randolph, the family butler, then informs her that a feud that started years before between the Carringtons and the Cassidys is still going on, and she must be careful, just as the handsome Luke Cassidy has caught her eye.
